Jim Baumer, is the creative force behind the one-man indie-rock outfit JimBaumerME,. Baumer’s music touches on classic influences like Neil Young, Lou Reed, T Rex, and others, but aligns more closely with mid-90s lof-fi indie rock artists like Guided by Voices, Swearing at Motorists, and Dinosaur Jr.
Baumer’s songwriting mines the realm of populism and politics, but also brings in personal elements of grief and loss (from losing a son) and the disappointment that life often delivers by its’s over-promise of being something bigger and better.
